In this economy, we're trying to save money any which way we can. With the introduction of new sites like Groupon and competitors like Google Offers, we can save a few bucks. These days, going to the movies will cost you a minimum of $10 per ticket and maybe another $5 - $10 per person for snacks. Although this program is still in beta, Google Offers has had a ton of specials from Fandango for $5 movie tickets in the last month.
If you're new to the Groupon game, let me break it down for you. Fandango is a website where you can check movie times and pre-purchase movie tickets. In order to market their site and services, they make a deal with companies like Google or Groupon to create a coupon for a movie ticket with a price of $5. Google then markets the coupon to all it's subscribers. Everyone wins in this situation. Google gets a commission or fee, Fandango gets pre-paid business and publicity, and the customer gets a great deal. The only thing we have to remember is to use it before the expiration date.
